For future reference, is there a website dedicated to listing the "truth" about each antenna - how well they would handle UHF, VHF-low, VHF-high, etc?

We are dedicated to telling the truth about antennas, because we want you to have good reception. If you don't, you will come back and tell us it didn't work.
We don't offer a guarantee, but we try very hard to give useful advice.
The antenna marketing departments have a tendency to make exaggerated claims to sell antennas and raise your hopes, which end up crashing on the rocks of reality.
Within each brand you can make a comparison, but not from brand to brand because sometimes gain figures are stated in dBi and sometimes dBd, with a difference of 2.1 dB. Mileage figures aren't too useful except within a brand. What good is a "50 mile" antenna if you are behind a hill that blocks the signals?
